...Heart (Daughter to Father),” expresses a sadness absent from “Speak,” Lohan’s debut. Maybe Lindsay finally got the memo: she may not be an above-average singer, but she’s an actress with a pretty solid track record. That said, her overblown histrionics don’t quite work in stereo. “Personal” is, at its best, an overacted soundtrack to the sensationalized Lindsay Lohan story (featured in a tabloid near you).

The much-touted Women’s Center, for example, will probably do very little to improve the number of women in tenure-track positions on the faculty—but it will do a lot to make the Radcliffe Union of Students happy, along with other groups on campus that ostensibly advocate for women...
